HORSE ROCKS DRILLING COMPLETE

Pe matite intersected in 47 out of 52 holes g

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Lord has completed a 52-hole reverse circulation (RC) drilling program for a total of 4,223m.

  • The drilling program targeted LCT pegmatites at the Horse Rocks Lithium Project with pegmatite intersected in 47 out of 52 holes.

  • A total of 157 pegmatite intervals were logged across the 47 drill holes for a cumulative total of 1,016 metres of logged pegmatite. (refer Appendix 2)

  • Five high priority geochemical anomalies drill tested, with multiple thick pegmatites intercepted.

  • Full suite of assays expected in the coming weeks.

  • Horse Rocks Lithium Project surrounded by Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN) and Essential Metals Limited (ASX: ESS) in Western Australia’s emerging lithium Super-Province, 20km South of Coolgardie.

Managing Director, Barnaby Egerton-Warburton commented:

“Our first phase of exploration drilling is now complete and we have been buoyed by the fact that we have identified multiple thick pegmatites, and we look forward to updating shareholders when the assay results are received”.

Lord Resources Limited (ASX: LRD) (“Lord” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on RC drilling at the Horse Rocks Lithium Project (E15/1770), located 20km south of Coolgardie, in Western Australia.

The Project is within 8km’s of Mineral Resources Limited Mt Marion Lithium Mine (Figure 1). The ground surrounding the Horse Rocks Lithium Project is held by Mineral Resources Limited (E15/1599, EEL53, EEL59) and Essential Metals Limited (E15/1710).

DRILLING PROGRAM

A first pass RC drilling program was designed to test for lithium mineralisation within the Horse Rocks Lithium Project. In total, 4,223m were drilled in 52 holes, in areas of geochemical anomalism. Assays are expected in the coming weeks.

==> picture [65 x 51] intentionally omitted <==

Pegmatites were intercepted in 47 out of 52 holes, with multiple zones of significant widths (up to 68m – Figure 2 & Figure 4). The majority of the pegmatites are interpreted to have a low to moderate east dip.

The drilling program was planned at five areas of high priority geochemical anomalism, where multiple pegmatite swarms have been mapped at surface (Figure 6). This drilling program is the first lithium targeted sub-surface exploration within the Project.

Cautionary Note

The Company stresses that the reported observation of pegmatite occurrence is not an estimate of mineralisation or lithium grade.

In relation to the disclosure of visual results, the Company cautions that visual estimates of rock types or mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for a laboratory analysis. Assay results are required to determine the widths and grade of the visual observations in preliminary geological logging. The Company will update the market when laboratory results become available.

ABOUT HORSE ROCKS

Located 20km south of Coolgardie in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields, the Horse Rocks Lithium Project comprises a 23.8km[2 ] exploration licence (E15/1770), 8km west of Mineral Resources’ (ASX: MIN) Mt Marion Lithium Mine (51.4MT @ 1.45% Li2O).

The Horse Rocks Lithium Project lies within a folded portion of an isolated greenstone belt, within the Coolgardie Domain of the Yilgarn Craton. The greenstone belt is comprised of high-magnesium basalts, gabbroic sills and komatiite sequences. The granodiorite Depot Dome is to the immediate east of the greenstones and is the interpreted source of the many pegmatite intrusions within the tenure.

The Horse Rocks Lithium Project is considered prospective for pegmatite hosted lithium, nickel sulphide and orogenic gold mineralisation. Historical drilling has identified elevated nickel within the ultramafic sequences, along with gold anomalism in surface sampling. The lack of any exploration for lithium provides an untested conceptual opportunity for Lord Resources.

the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively
simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation

may
warrant
disclosure
of
detailed information.

Sampling completed by Lord Resources Ltd (LRD) is conducted using
industry standard practice, blanks and CRM’s at regular intervals. The
performance of QAQC is monitored on a batch-by-batch basis.

The sampling in this announcement has been carried out using reverse
circulation (RC) drilling.

A total of 52 holes were drilled, for 4,223m (23RC001-23RC052), with
depths ranging from 30m to 156m.

Drillholes were located using hand-held GPS.

Sampling was carried out under LRD protocols and QAQC procedures
as per current industry practice. See further details below.

RC drilling was used to obtain 1m samples collected through a cyclone
into buckets and placed on the ground as 1m samples, generally in
rows of 20.

Sample quality was high with any sample loss or moisture recorded in
the sample table.

A representative sample was split from the bulk 1m sample via a cone
splitter and collected in a calico bag.

Composite samples were collected with a scoop to generate 3m
composite samples.

The 2-3 kg composite samples were dispatched to ALS laboratories in
Perth. These samples will be sorted and dried by the assay laboratory
and pulverised.

All samples have been submitted to the laboratory for analysis by
sodium peroxide fusion.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so,
_by what method, etc.). _

The drilling contractor was Drillwest, using a 4inch rod string and RC
hammer.

Drillholes were drilled at either -60° or vertical, as listed in Appendix 1
above.

No core samples were collected.

Composite samples were collected with a scoop.

1m individual samples were collected via a cone splitter directly from
the cyclone.

Samples are recorded as dry, wet or damp.

If anomalous results are returned from the sample, the single metre
samples may be submitted for analysis.

Composite samples are not used in resources calculations.

No analytical results have been returned so far.

CRM’s were inserted at a ratio of approximately 1:20.

Samples are collected at 1m intervals or composited into 3 m samples
using a scoop to sample individual metre samples.

Certified Reference Materials (CRM’s) and/or blanks are analysed with
each batch of samples. These quality control results are reported along
with the sample values in the final report.

Compositing of samples involves collection of representative scoops
from within the single sample metre pile. Samples weigh 2-3kg prior to
pulverisation.

Sample sizes are considered appropriate to give an indication of
mineralisation given the particle sizes and the practical requirement to
maintain manageable sample weights.

Mineral
tenement and
land
tenure
status
Type, reference name/number,
location and ownership including
agreements or material issues
with third parties such as joint
ventures, partnerships, overriding
royalties, native title interests,
historical sites, wilderness or
national park and environmental
settings.
The security of the tenure held at
the time of reporting along with
any
known
impediments
to
obtaining a licence to operate in
the area.

The Horse Rocks Lithium Project, consists of one Exploration Licence
E15/1770, covering 23.8km2 and is located approximately 20km south
of Coolgardie, Western Australia. It is readily accessible from
Coolgardie via the sealed Coolgardie-Esperance highway and
thereafter northwards along the unsealed fence lines and historic
drilling tracks.

The Project is within the Yallari Timber Reserve. A Conservation
Management Plan (CMP) has been approved by the Environment
Minister and is attached as a tenement condition.

E15/1770 is in good standing, and is held by Tailflower Pty Ltd, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Lord Resources Ltd.
Exploration

parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal
of exploration by other parties.

The majority of past exploration work within the project area including
drilling, surface sampling; geophysical surveys, geological mapping was
largely completed in the 1970’s by Carpentaria Exploration, and 1990’s
MPI and Newcrest.

The reports are available on the West Australian Mines Department
WAMEX open file library.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.

The Project lies on the Coolgardie Domain, of the Kalgoorlie Terrain,
within the Eastern Goldfields Supergroup, which is part of the Yilgarn
Craton. The dominant geological feature of the tenure is an anticlinal
folded portion of an isolated Archaean greenstone belt, between the
Nepean-Coolgardie belt and the Saddle Hills-Spargoville belt. The
greenstone unit has been metamorphosed to upper greenschist to
mid-amphibolite facies.

The Depot Dome intrusion is located to the east of the tenure. The
Depot Granodiorite is a medium- to coarse grained hornblende
leucogranodiorite-tonalite, with moderate to strong shearing. This
discretegranitoid dome is the interpreted source forpegmatites

intrusions which host the Mt Marion Lithium Mine. Pegmatites have
been historically mapped within the greenstone sequence, but the
lithium potential has not been determined.

There are two east-north-easterly trending Proterozoic dykes bisecting
the project area, the northern of which labelled the Celebration Dyke.

The north trending Kununalling Shear Zone passes through the Horse
Rocks Project. The Ghost Crab – Mount Marion gold deposits are
spatiallyassociated with shear zones.

Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should be
stated.
Where
aggregate
intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high-
grade results and longer lengths
of
low-grade
results,
the
procedure
used
for
such
aggregation should be stated and
some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.

No assay results are reported – assays are pending.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths
and
intercept
lengths
If
the
geometry
of
the
mineralisation with respect to the
drillhole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.
If it is not known and only the
down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear statement
to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole
_length, true width not known’). _

The geometry of mineralisation is unknown.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections
(with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being
reported These should include,
but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.

Where comprehensive reporting
of all Exploration Results is not
practicable,
representative
reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.

The report has been prepared to summarise the drilling program to
date. Further drilling will be completed and reported on in due course.
Other

Other
exploration
data,
if
meaningful and material, should
be reported including (but not
